This is a clear case of defamation. When someone tells lies about someone to a third party and that harms the person's reputation the person can sue for damages to their reputation.

The first step is for you or a lawyer acting for you to send them a letter demanding that they cease and desist from making further false statements against you and demanding a written retraction and apology and threaten a lawsuit for damages. If this doesn't help then your next step would be to sue them.

Does that help as a starting point?
